About This Item
‘CyberWar, CyberTerror and CyberCrime are a real and present danger, and organizations that are unprepared for them are organizations that are wandering blindly into a destructive future,’ warns Dr Mehan, the author of this book. The announcement by Nato that it is creating a 24-hour emergency response team to manage CyberAttacks, has further highlighted the increasing vulnerability of organisations and businesses.
This book gives you a stark and timely analysis of the hostile online landscape that today’s corporate systems inhabit, providing CIOs and IT professionals with a practical introduction to the defensive strategies that you can be employed in response.
Referring to recent cases such as the 2007 CyberAttack by Russia on Estonia’s state and financial IT infranstructure, which brought the country to a standstill for two months, Dr Mehan highlights the vulnerability of vital organisations including financial, defense, telecommunications and energy networks, and the steep cost of malware attacks on companies.
Benefits to business include:
- Protect your systems against attack using the best standards and practices
- Understand the case for applying international standards and practices as the key counter-measure to the global threat of CyberAttacks
- Useful glossary of wider reading and current international standards
Comments Dr Mehan, ‘While the Internet has emerged in the past two decades as a powerful business tool and enabler, the online world remains a largely unstructured terrain with few legal limitations and rules. The result has been a digital ‘Wild West’, with the Internet providing a fertile feeding ground for CyberWarriors, CyberTerrorists and CyberCriminals.’
